It's the 4th quarter, boys and girls. Who had the balls to take Texas A&M? Who crashed and burned backing Sienna? We have a new Sole Survivor, a new man at the top of the standings, and the next to last schedule for the 2010 MDG…after the jump.
This is what it's all about. After 3 months of blood, sweat, and e-mails, we have a 3 way tie for first place. John Z won himself $50 and made up a 2 game deficit this week by winning 7 of 10 games, positioning himself to take the 1st place $1,000. Even with just two weeks left, everyone in the top 8 is within striking distance of the big money prize. This isn't life changing money, but it's definitely year changing money. At this point of the Most Dangerous Game, you have to ask yourself – How hard will I work for $1,000? In a contest of research and wits, do I have what it takes to win the championship?
How badly do I want a check in MY name to show up in MY mailbox with 3 zeroes on it? We're going to go out on a limb and say that you've never had the opportunity to win this much money strictly for your sports knowledge. Seize the day. There will be one winner and many, many losers.
Do you have what it takes to be that winner?

MONDAY
#7 West Virginia (-2.5) @ UConn -Is the UConn resurgence for real?
TUESDAY
#17 Tennessee @ Florida (-3.5)
#13 Georgetown @ Louisville (-3.5) - Louisville and Florida are both trying to get off that bubble with a home win against a highly ranked conference opponent
WEDNESDAY
#16 Pittsburgh @ Notre Dame (-1)
#23 Texas A&M @ Baylor (-6.5) - If you've paid attention at all this year, you know the Big 12 is worth watching on a Wednesday night.
THURSDAY
Arizona @ Cal (-11.5) - Yes, the Pac 10 has been disgusting this year. But when Jerome Randle and the Bears are on ESPN, they'll qualify for the MDG. Also, Epic Beard Man is from Oakland, so we love teams from Northern Cal.
FRIDAY
#10 Butler (-9.5) @ Valparaiso - This game wouldn't even be in question if Bryce Drew was still alive.
SATURDAY
#12 New Mexico @ #11 BYU (-8)
#8 Villanova @ #4 Syracuse (-5) - We're avoiding UK @ UT because that noon tip off is a slap in the face to anyone who enjoys a beer or 9 on a Friday night.
SUNDAY
#14 Michigan State @ #3 Purdue (-4) - What comes in this box, this box that rocks?
